amusing signs
One thing I love about India is the signage, especially the notices you see posted in public places. I like that there is a profusion of notices and instructions everywhere... trains, taxis, doors, awnings, etc. And the things they tell you can be pretty funny.
On a plane, one of the warnings was "The life jacket under your seat is for emergencies only. Removing it from the aircraft is a criminal offense." Isn't it a bit endearing that someone out there considers taking the life jacket?
Today, on the metro, I read a fire prevention sign. It listed various items that are prohibited on trains... firecrackers, flamable gases, etc. And item #3 warned "Do not light up stove or sigri." On a train. I guess it makes sense because Calcutta has so many homeless and itinerant people... but still.
